Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of ultra-thin flexible glass technology, and more specifically, it relates to an immersion device for ultra-thin flexible glass after tempering. Background Technology
[0002] Ultra-thin flexible glass is currently a development trend for foldable screens, and the future requirements for its appearance are extremely high. To improve the appearance of ultra-thin flexible glass, tempered glass will have tempered salt ions on it after tempering. If these are not cleaned properly, they will severely affect the product's appearance and bending performance. Currently, we use a cleaning machine, but this method is time-consuming and complex. The transfer of the product from tempering to the cleaning machine involves many uncertainties that can negatively impact the product. The current method for handling tempered glass salt ions is to wait until the glass has completed tempering before using a cleaning machine. This method requires manual transfer into the cleaning machine and has a long cleaning time, which affects the product's performance.
[0003] The prior art includes a technology entitled "A Small Ultra-Thin Glass Slide Immersion Device" with publication number "CN210030451U". This technology relates to a small ultra-thin glass slide immersion device, which includes a horizontally arranged rotating chamber and a drive motor that can drive the rotating chamber to rotate clockwise and counterclockwise via a rotating shaft. An immersion chamber is arranged inside the rotating chamber, with the left or right side wall of the immersion chamber arranged opposite to the inner wall of the rotating chamber. The immersion chamber consists of an immersion chamber and an arc-shaped liquid storage tube arranged below the immersion chamber. A first liquid inlet and outlet are arranged on the front side of the middle of the bottom wall of the immersion chamber, and a second liquid inlet and outlet are arranged on the rear side of the middle. The front end of the liquid storage tube is connected to the first liquid inlet and outlet, and the rear end is connected to the second liquid inlet and outlet. The front part of the bottom wall of the immersion chamber is the glass slide immersion area. The rear part of the bottom wall of the immersion chamber is a recessed area, in which an absorbent sponge with an upper surface flush with the bottom wall of the immersion chamber is arranged to form a sponge water absorption area. This invention enables batch soaking of small, ultra-thin glass sheets. It is ingeniously conceived, has a simple structure, and is easy to operate.
[0004] However, this technology does not address the technical issues and solutions of this application. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a simple structure for soaking ultra-thin flexible glass after tempering, which can conveniently and quickly complete the soaking after glass tempering, so that the product can remove residual salt ions after tempering without going through a cleaning machine, ensuring the salt ion removal effect, saving operation time and reducing costs.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0007] This utility model is an immersion device for tempering ultra-thin flexible glass, including an immersion tank, the upper part of which is a glass inlet and outlet opening, an inlet pipe for the immersion tank on one side, and an outlet pipe for the immersion tank at the bottom. The diameter of the inlet pipe is larger than the diameter of the outlet pipe.
[0008] A heating element is installed at the bottom of the soaking tank.
[0009] A temperature sensor is installed inside the soaking tank.
[0010] The heating element and temperature sensor are connected to the control element.
[0011] The inlet pipe is connected to the water supply tank, and the outlet pipe is connected to the outlet tank.
[0012] The soaking tank is equipped with a glass support plate inside, and the glass support plate has openings.
[0013] A high-level water level sensor and a low-level water level sensor are installed on one side of the soaking tank, and the high-level water level sensor and the low-level water level sensor are connected to the control component.
[0014] A water pump and a valve are respectively installed on the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe.
[0015] The heating element is an electric heater with a heating wire.
[0016] The working principle and beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0017] The immersion device for tempered ultra-thin flexible glass described in this utility model comprises an immersion tank, which is a container for holding cleaning water. The upper part of the immersion tank has a glass inlet / outlet for placing the glass to be deionized and the glass after deionization. An inlet pipe is provided on one side of the immersion tank to supply cleaning water, and an outlet pipe is provided at the bottom to drain the water after immersion. The diameter of the inlet pipe is larger than that of the outlet pipe. This allows water to be added to and drained simultaneously during immersion, with the inflow exceeding the outflow. This continuous addition and removal of water ensures the water in the immersion tank remains in a constant circulation, maintaining a certain level of cleanliness and effectively removing salt ions from the product. Furthermore, ensuring the inflow exceeds the outflow maintains a sufficient water level in the immersion tank, allowing for reliable glass immersion and effective removal of residual salt ions from the surface.

[0022] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part:
[0023] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2As shown, this utility model is an immersion device for tempered ultra-thin flexible glass, including an immersion tank 1, a glass inlet / outlet opening 2 at the top of the immersion tank 1, an immersion tank water inlet pipe 3 on one side of the immersion tank 1, and an immersion tank water outlet pipe 4 at the bottom of the immersion tank 1. The diameter of the immersion tank water inlet pipe 3 is larger than the diameter of the immersion tank water outlet pipe 4. The above structure addresses the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing an improved technical solution. In the structural configuration, the immersion tank 1 is a container for holding cleaning water. The glass inlet / outlet opening 2 at the top of the immersion tank 1 is used to place the glass to be deionized and the glass after deionization. The immersion tank water inlet pipe 3 on one side of the immersion tank 1 supplies cleaning water into the immersion tank 1, and the immersion tank water outlet pipe 4 at the bottom of the immersion tank 1 drains the water after immersing the glass. The diameter of the inlet pipe 3 of the soaking tank is larger than the diameter of the outlet pipe 4. This allows water to be added to and drained from the soaking tank 1 simultaneously during the soaking process, with the inflow exceeding the outflow. This continuous addition and removal of water ensures the water in the soaking tank remains in a constant circulation, maintaining a certain level of cleanliness and effectively removing salt ions from the product. Furthermore, ensuring the inflow exceeds the outflow maintains a sufficient water level in the soaking tank 1, allowing for reliable glass soaking and effective removal of residual salt ions from the surface. This invention, a soaking device for ultra-thin flexible tempered glass, has a simple structure and can conveniently and quickly complete the soaking process after tempering. It removes residual salt ions from the tempered glass without requiring a cleaning machine, ensuring effective salt ion removal, saving operation time, and reducing costs.
[0024] A heating element 7 is installed at the bottom of the immersion tank 1. With this structure, during the glass immersion process, continuous water intake and drainage are not required. Instead, after a certain amount of water is added, both intake and drainage stop, at which point the heating element can be activated to heat the water to meet the required temperature. After a certain amount of glass has been immersed in a certain amount of water, the cleaning water is replaced, and another batch of glass is immersed. This reliably achieves immersion while ensuring the immersion water temperature meets the requirements.
[0025] A temperature sensor 8 is installed inside the soaking tank 1. The heating element 7 and the temperature sensor 8 are connected to a control element. In this structure, the temperature sensor senses and provides feedback on the real-time water temperature in the soaking tank. If the real-time water temperature is higher than the set temperature range, the control element stops the heating element. If the real-time water temperature is lower than the set temperature, the control element starts the heating element.
[0026] The inlet pipe 3 connects to the water supply tank, and the outlet pipe 4 connects to the outlet water tank. This structure allows the water supply tank to store and supply clean water. The outlet water tank holds water used for soaking.
[0027] The immersion tank 1 is equipped with a glass support plate 5 inside, and an opening 6 is provided on the glass support plate 5. In the above structure, the glass support plate isolates the heating components, and the upper part of the glass support plate is the glass immersion area. During immersion, the water level is always higher than the glass support plate 5. The opening 6 allows the water in the immersion tank to flow and drain reliably.
[0028] A high-level water level sensor and a low-level water level sensor are installed on one side of the soaking tank 1, and these sensors are connected to a control component. In this structure, the high-level and low-level water level sensors are used to monitor the water level, meeting the usage requirements.
[0029] A water pump and a valve are respectively installed on the inlet pipe 3 and the outlet pipe 4. In this structure, the water pump is used to pump water, and the valve is used to control the opening and closing of the pipes. The water pump is an electronic water pump, and the valve is an electronic valve, which is reliably controlled by a control component. The heating component 7 is an electric heater with a heating wire. The start and stop of the heating component are controlled by the control component.
[0030] The present invention describes an immersion device for tempered ultra-thin flexible glass. During immersion, the glass is not directly placed into the immersion tank, but rather placed on a basket. The structure includes an immersion tank 1, which is a container for holding cleaning water. The upper part of the immersion tank 1 has a glass inlet / outlet opening 2 for placing both the glass requiring salt ion removal and the glass after salt ion removal. An inlet pipe 3 is provided on one side of the immersion tank 1 to supply cleaning water. An outlet pipe 4 is provided at the bottom of the immersion tank 1 to drain the water after immersion. The diameter of the inlet pipe 3 of the soaking tank is larger than the diameter of the outlet pipe 4 of the soaking tank. In this way, during the soaking process, water is added to and drained from the soaking tank 1 at the same time, with the inflow rate exceeding the outflow rate. This continuous addition and removal of water keeps the water in the soaking tank in a constant state of circulation, ensuring that the water in the soaking tank 1 remains at a certain level of cleanliness. This effectively removes salt ions from the cleaning product. On the other hand, ensuring that the inflow rate is greater than the outflow rate ensures that a certain amount of water is always maintained in the soaking tank 1. The water level meets the requirements, allowing for reliable glass soaking and effective removal of residual salt ions from the glass surface.
[0031] The present invention has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the specific implementation of the present invention is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made using the inventive concept and technical solution of the present invention, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution to other situations without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present invention.
